if the old version is working, keep it. You can always make a backup of the sd card to an image file on disk too.
There are many more features in the new image but as far as a working autopilot that can follow routes steer to wind etc, the old image is fine.
New features include
1) two way signalk communication
2) rf remote control support
3) easy reprogramming of all keys to various functions
4) easily reprogram any IR remote without special calibration
5) display of calibration plots in the webapp as well as opencpn plugin
6) improved cpu efficiency, but this is offset because the loop runs at 20hz instead of 10hz giving finer timings
7) improved display support
8) numerous bug fixes
9) more efficient data system leading toward future improvements
